Bianca Manalo is among beauty queens who have since made inroads as actress.
Several others who have followed in her wake are now enjoying huge popularity appearing in sexy films.
Many believe Bianca should follow suit.
After all, she still has the curves that earned her the Binibining Pilipinas Universe title in 2009.
Is she open to the idea?
Not exactly.
She said, "Never! Hindi ko talaga gagawin` yon!"
“May offer sa akin, pero no talaga! Hindi ko kaya," she added. “Kaya ko namang mag-entertain, magpapasaya ng tao in dramas, comedy, hindi ko kailangang magpakita ng balat."
She is willing to appear onscreen wearing a revealing swimsuit.
“Pero, para magpakita ng boobs, butt, baka bumangon ang tatay ko sa hukay at hilahin ang buhok ko!"
The 35-year-old made clear she is not against other beauty queens who have taken the route though.
She maintained, "Kung gusto ng iba na magpaseksi, okay lang. Kanya-kanya naman ‘yon."
Bianca is now with GMA and she is more than happy with her decision.
"Kaya ako nai-excite, kasi maipapakita ko naman ang kakaibang Bianca. Sa kabila kasi, api-apihan ako madalas. Dito, ako ang mang-aapi! Gusto ko ‘yun. Ibang atake siya."
